Michelle
has always led the fight in her home state against homosexual marriage
and states that marriage is between one man and one woman. Most conservatives
are in agreement with her. However, in April of 2005, she held a town
hall event as she was running for congress. Apparently some folks from
a gay community attended the meeting. Allegedly when the question and
answer session turned to gay marriage, Bachmann ended the meeting early
and rushed to the bathroom. One of the lesbian women and a nun followed
her into the ladies' room hoping to have a chance to speak with her. When
they approached her to speak, Bachmann apparently started screaming "Help,
Help, I'm being held against my will." If this is true, according
to the article in the Daily
Beast, why didn't she stay and talk with them and point out Biblical
references to her stance in both Leviticus and Romans?

Why
the rush to get away from her constituents? Is it because Helen LeFave,
one of Michelle's step sister's, is a lesbian?

The
Tea Party Caucus

Michelle
Bachmann founded the Tea Party Caucus in July, 2010 in order to give voice
to Americans who were sick and tired of the government's fiscal irresponsibility.
However, according to an article in National
Journal, 52 members of the Caucus who have pledged to cut spending
and reduce the size of government actually requested a total of 764 earmarks
valued at $1,049,783,150 during Fiscal Year 2010. Michelle Bachmann and
13 of her Caucus colleagues did not request any earmarks, but others,
all Republicans, made themselves pigs at the trough. Just a bit disingenuous
isn't it?

Bachmann's
Proposed Federal Budget Cuts

Guess
where Representative Bachmann wants to cut funding from the Federal Budget?
In late January of 2011, she proposed the elimination of $400 billion
from the federal budget, which included billions in cuts to veterans'
health care and disability benefits. According to the Raw
Story article, her plan would freeze health care funding for the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA), and slash $4.5 billion in disability benefits
to military veterans. I can think of hundreds of areas to slash the budget,
but this is certainly not one of them. Bring our soldiers home from these
insane wars and put them on our borders...that's how you protect America.
Michelle wants to take the few benefits they have from them when we've
got our military spread so thin in all these unconscionable wars. I find
this deplorable.

Bachmann
on Immigration

Michelle
only gets a B- on immigration from Numbers (that's not to say I trust
Numbers, but let's take a look). She's strongest on opposing legalizing
amnesty, securing the borders, supporting local law enforcement and ending
birthright citizenship. She's totally unhelpful on reducing overall immigration,
ending the Visa Lottery, limiting unfair worker competition, and implementing
entry/exit laws. Unfortunately, and this is the real crux of the matter,
she is 100% for E-Verify. Goals 2000 is in place, School to Work is in
place, Secondary, Elementary Education Act is in place, and ALL
THAT IS LEFT IS THE GLOBAL WORKFORCE! How would you like to go
through the government data base for employment? [Link]
This is what E-Verify does, for everyone! Read
Marc Tucker's letter to Hillary. All that is left to finish
their agenda is the workforce and they will hide that in "inconspicuous
legislation." What a more perfect place than illegal legislation.

To top
it off, most of the anti-illegal organizations were founded by John Tanton.
Here is a list
of his network, and please notice population control and eugenics.
John Tanton M.D. is "publisher of The Social Contract and served
as editor for its first 8 years. He is a retired eye surgeon whose boyhood
on a farm made him into an ardent conservationist and advocate for the
environment.
His conviction that continued human population growth was a large part
of the conservation problem led him to chair the National Sierra
Club Population Committee (1971-74), and to the national board of
Zero
Population Growth (1973-78, including a term as president, 1975-77).
In 1979, Tanton shifted his focus towards fighting immigration to reduce
the U.S. population, and organized the anti-immigrant Federation
for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) based in Washington, D.C. Since
then, Tanton has formed, funded, or otherwise been affiliated with many
prominent anti-immigration organizations, in what has been termed the
John
Tanton Network. He is also closely affiliated with a number of white
supremacist organizations such as the Pioneer
Fund. Tanton's close relationships with white nationalists and eugenics
is documented at the Center
for New Community.

Stimulus
Monies

According
to a Huffington
Post article, Bachmann actually petitioned the government for financial
aid via stimulus funds. She even made requests of the EPA, one of the
agencies she says she'd eliminate as President.

She
also took out a home loan in 2008 with her husband which offered federally
subsided lower costs to the borrower. She and her husband signed for a
5200 square foot golf course home borrowing $417,000. Experts believe
her loan was backed by Fannie and Freddie, and only a few weeks later
she called for the dismantling of these government subsidies.

Financial
Backing

According
to Ron Olsen of Workingreporter.com,
he went to OpenSecrets.org
to find out who Bachmann's biggest contributors were, none other than
the Club for Growth.
Here's what Ron Olsen says about them in his article, “Chaired
by prominent Wall Street investors
like Thomas Rhodes and Richard Gilder, as well as the wealthy and reclusive
Howie Rich, the Club collects
funds from employees of J.P. Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, while
being buoyed by large donations like a $1.4 million contribution from
investor Stephen Jacksons of Stephens Groups Inc. The hand-picked candidates
of the Club claim to lead the tea party movement, even though polls
show that 70% of self identified tea partiers want the government
to help create jobs, and nearly half want government to rein in executive
bonuses.” -ThinkProgress.org

Since
1989, the Club for Growth has been Congresswoman Bachman’s biggest
contributor, donating $92,630 to her campaigns. TCF Financial, is her
third largest contributor, at $40,900. Somewhat farther down the ladder
is the American Bankers Association, which kicked in another $24,000."

The
Balanced Budget Amendment

The
BBA is a hoax and a huge trap. Again, the politicians are selling this
to the people because it has such a great sounding name...of course we
want a balanced budget! The problem with this Amendment (which quite obviously
all 47 Republican Senators and most of the Republican Representatives
don't understand because they never read the constitution) is that the
constitution LIMITS what the federal government is allowed
to spend money on with our taxpayer dollars. It is so limited that the
funding of outrageous items today would fill an encyclopedia. Our constitution
does not authorize foreign aid, or museums about rock stars, or studying
of the blue lizard, or Chinese prostitutes, and on and on. We have a majority
of Republicans in congress now...so why in heaven's name aren't they balancing
the budget now without an amendment?

This
BBA that all these folks absolutely love and want passed and talk so openly
about to the dumbed down electorate would actually LEGALIZE CONSTITUTIONALLY
ILLEGAL SPENDING, and give them a free hand to spend whatever
they want to on any frivolous item that floats by their desks. The constitution
limits CONGRESS alone to the spending of money! "The BBA will usher
in a totalitarian dictatorship. Pursuant to the unconstitutional Budget
Act of 1921, the President has been preparing the budget. Since the Budget
Act is unconstitutional, the President’s preparation of the budget
has been likewise unconstitutional. Section 3 of the BBA would legalize
what is now unconstitutional and unlawful. But Section 3 of the BBA does
more than merely legalize the unlawful. It actually transfers
the constitutional power to make the appropriations and to determine
taxes to the President. Congress will become a rubber
stamp."

Please
read Publius
Huldah's important and thorough article on this diabolical change
to our constitution planned by the rightwing who have long been in bed
with the left. Senators Jim DeMint and Mike Lee (neo-cons) are determined
to jam this down our throats along with Congressional creatures like Michelle
Bachmann. Don't tell me they don't understand fully what they're doing
because nearly every one of these people are lawyers and they've certainly
studied the law. In the July 7, 2011, WSJ, Jim DeMint joined with that
bastion of conservative politics, Olympia Snowe of Maine to push the BBA
stating it is THE ONLY REFORM THAT WILL RESTRAIN SPENDING.
Liars and thieves!

Using
the "kiss" method to explain, an amendment to the constitution
is first proposed by the Congress with a two-thirds majority vote in both
the House of Representatives and the Senate or by a Constitutional Convention
called for by two-thirds of the State legislatures. None of the 27 amendments
to the Constitution have been proposed by Constitutional Convention. Then
it is sent to the states for their votes. If 38 of the states ratify the
amendment, it will be added to the Constitution. [Link]

Another
huge danger with this proposed BBA is a Constitutional Convention which
is also part of Article V and has never been used. Those of us who have
written about the con-con call have grave concerns that this BBA could
easily turn into an Article V convention. Should the BBA fail to get 38
or three-fourths of the states to ratify, the Republicans (who seem to
be pushing this for both parties) could easily tell the electorate they
can't get the Democrats to go along with balancing the budget, so we need
to get these same states to put out a call for a Constitutional Convention
where we can open the constitution for one reason only and that's to balance
the budget. They only need two-thirds or 34 states to put out a call for
a Constitutional Convention to open one. I wrote about this in detail
in my article, Wolves in Sheep's
Clothing?, and Tom
DeWeese of American Policy Center has written about it extensively
as has the John
Birch Society, and Bernadine Smith of the Second
Amendment Committee, as well as many others.

Former
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Warren Burger (no friend of conservatives)
vigorously opposed convening a Constitutional Convention. He wrote in
1988, “I have also repeatedly given my opinion that there is no
effective way to limit or muzzle the actions of a Constitutional Convention.
The Convention could make its own rules and set its own agenda. Congress
might try to limit the Convention to one amendment or to one issue, but
there is no way to assure that the Convention would obey. After a Convention
is convened, it will be too late to stop the Convention if we don’t
like the agenda. The meeting in 1787 ignored the limit placed by the Confederation
Congress ‘for the sole and express purpose.' “ And lastly,
here is a copy of the NEW
STATES CONSTITUTION waiting in the wings for just this opportunity.
It was written over a period of 10 years at a cost of $25 million by the
Ford and Rockefeller Foundations. It eliminates all unalienable God given
rights.

Voting
Record

You
can check Michelle Bachmann's entire
voting record here, and most conservatives would agree with many of
her votes. Her most recent voting record can
be found here. On February
10, Bachmann voted to bring Patriot Act reauthorization back to the
House floor, despite the fact that it had just been voted down. On the
evening of Valentine’s Day, Michelle Bachmann rejected
a motion to follow House Rules and send the Patriot Act to the appropriate
committees so members could propose sensible reforms. A few minutes after
that, Bachmann voted
YES to support final passage of the Patriot Act’s renewal in
the House. All of these votes operated under conditions that permitted
no amendments, no compromise, no reform, and mere minutes of debate. Here
is a
video of her telling why she voted for reauthorization.

To my
knowledge, Michelle Bachmann has never offered a bill to stop all foreign
aid, to get us out of these endless wars and bring the soldiers home and
put them on our borders, to eliminate the endless numbers of unconstitutional
tax payer funded federal agencies like NEA, EPA, National Endowment for
the Arts, Department of Energy, etc, etc., ad nauseum. The list is endless,
but her offered legislation is miniscule.

Of course
Michelle is pro-life, and she has stated that she would eliminate Obama
care, which I am all for doing. She also kept her promise and voted against
the cut, cap and balance debt ceiling bill, but really, what are her major
accomplishments?

Buying
Votes

Bachmann
was giving out 6,000 free tickets to supporters in order to allow them
to vote for her without paying the $30 fee. She also paid to have Grammy
Award winning country singer Randy Travis perform in a special air-conditioned
tent. She beat out Ron Paul by only 152 votes in Ohio. Very questionable
indeed.

Conclusion

Obviously
Michelle is not a hardcore socialist like Willard Romney, Newt Gingrich,
or Rick Perry, but she's still not what I consider good presidential material.
Of course we haven't seen great material for president in so long, that
I've come to believe true statesmen and women no longer exist. The problem
that concerns me the most with Michelle is her avid push for a BBA. It
is one of the most dangerous efforts out there and today even the Tea
Parties are being fooled into believing a Constitutional Convention would
be a great thing. How wrong they are!

Once
again folks, we'd best be on our knees in prayer asking God for guidance,
forgiveness and above all mercy. We cannot expect his blessing when we've
allowed 56 million babies to be murdered in their mother's wombs. This
is not the America I grew up loving. For part one on Michelle Bachmann
